At BUILD today Microsoft just announced that the same version of Windows 8 Developer Preview we've been using on Samsung tablets for the past day will be available at 8 PM PST this evening. More details and the ISO will be available on dev.windows.com for anyone with a Live ID to download and try out.

The platform preview will receive updates as development progresses, and has no mandatory activation.

Given being released as an ISO, I assume this build will be for x86 only? While probably infeasible at this point, an ARM release would be interesting since it seems the biggest take-away from this release is the Metro interface. I could finally put that TouchPad to good use. ;)Reply
